My reading progress is slow due to too much travel this month! I'm more than halfway through now. It's interesting to read a book after seeing its theatrical presentation. I usually try to read the book first. I wasn't too captivated with the book initially. My perspective could have been influenced because I read the first 40% or so on long-haul flights between the US & England and couldn't properly concentrate.
However, starting with Book 2, I am getting more drawn into it. I really like the writing style; it is certainly beautiful. I will definitely seek out more books by Waugh in the future. I was thinking that I initially had the same response to Kazuo Ishiguro's Remains of the Day which grew on me slowly after we read it, and I have since read other books by him.
